Explore the Unity Platform and its Deep VMware Integration!

EMC Unity sets the new standards for midrange storage with a powerful combination of simplicity, modern design, affordable price point, and deployment flexibility - perfect for resource-constrained IT professionals in SMB companies or larger enterprises needing a smaller footprint. Unity is perfect for midsized deployments, Remote Office/Branch Office locations, and cost-sensitive mixed workload environments. The systems are designed for all-flash while delivering the best value for its performance/capabilities, and is available in various configurations: purpose-built (all flash or hybrid flash), converged deployment (through VCE), or even as a software-defined virtual edition. With all-inclusive software, new differentiated features, internet-enabled management, and a modern design, Unity is where powerful meets simplicity.

EMC's Unity's Unisphere management platform is hosted on-array and utilizes HTML5, an industry standard that is browser native. Unisphere is easy to navigate and breaks down complex storage administration tasks into simple step-by-step wizards, so that anyone is capable of managing their storage system.

VMware Virtual Volumes Support

Unity has full support for VMware's Virtual Volumes (VVols) platform. Both file and block based VVols can be provisioned on the Unity array.

Data Protection

With support for asynchronous replication for both block and file resources, as well as synchronous replication for block (supported on purpose-built Unity systems only), EMC's Unity platform provides effective on-array data protection options. Snapshots are also available for your resources, to enable point-in-time copies of data that can be restored in the event of a disaster.
